Chaos Crown

Chapter 35, The Paladin's Oath
As always, the power of Slaanesh in Aaron still wants him to make trouble in this environment.

Because for chaos, conflict and strife are the source of power, and uncertainty and randomness are the essence of chaos.

If Aaron always wanted to play by the book, he'd be a believer in the faith of some witchy bacon sitting on a gold toilet, not a son of chaos.

However, Aaron still retains a certain degree of lawful and kind nature.

This is related to his character in the previous life, and also related to the experience in this life, that is, although Salian's misfortune, the misfortune of his time travel and the misfortune of awakening are superimposed on him, he is not abandoned by the world like some people, Betrayed by everyone.

He also has family members. Although the family of aunts and uncles may not play any role in his grand plan, they also provide him with family warmth.

He also has the social connections left by his father. Friends who have a certain personal relationship with the family, such as Lucian, Ian, and Duke Kayneth, saw that he showed talent, and they did not hesitate to give him some help, even including the regent princess and the royal family. 800 Golden Lion coins per year.

He also has Ms. Priest, Ms. Silver Star, and the Silver Virgin Sullen, who rescued him, helped him, and responded to him when he needed help the most.

He is not the one who is determined to kill all chaotic creatures and destroy all chaotic corruption, but finds out in the book that he is the Eternal God's Chosen, and is declared a heretic, and then goes to the capital cathedral to ask his god for help in person. The god he admired the most didn't care about him at all, and the archbishop personally came out to announce, "Well, it's as it was said in the prophecy, the heretic you take the initiative to send to your door to die" buddy.

Am I right?A brother who was forced to the top of the Chaos Wasteland?
Here, in the heart, it is very warm, and there is a warm force protecting Aaron's heart.

So Aaron has the ability to resist the negative effects of the power of chaos. He knows very well that he must control his emotions and control his power. The power of chaos is very powerful but it is also a corrupt and evil force. They will follow Aaron grew up together, and the stronger Aaron was, the stronger they were. Aaron needed their power and had to fight against them continuously until he was able to become a god with the priesthood of "Chaos" and completely absorb the four great powers.

Aaron refrained from provoking trouble, he simply reached out and said that he would.

Lord Viscount's actions immediately attracted the attention of all the recruits.

A little lead is enviable, a lead is enviable, but if some people are so ahead that they can't even see the rear taillights, it is only admirable.

It was easy for Aaron to win the favor of others. He was handsome and friendly, his handsome face was full of charm, and his eyes would make people fall in love if he looked at them for a long time. Most of the recruits showed no hostility towards him.

"I know it's not difficult for you, recruit." Sure enough, the knight instructor turned his attention to him. Simeone thought for a while, motioned for everyone to continue, and said to Aaron, "You are different from them." , You are a warlock, magic power is naturally flowing in your blood, and you at least already know how to follow your feelings."

"But it's not enough, Aaron Salian, you have to understand that your strength is needed to fight for your country, to fight against evil and injustice, and the purpose of your training is to become a qualified knight, not to use your strength Come to deal with your knight brother, I warn you, any private competition is strictly prohibited during this period."

"Yes." This is the side effect of provocation that day, and Aaron understands.

"Norrington-Wilson!" The knight instructor shouted to the side: "There is a transfer student here who wants to see your strength, so you have a competition, and I will take a good look at how many deep-rooted bad habits you have in your body!"

"Yes!" A recruit who was sitting and resting next to him got up.

Aaron moved his gaze to the new recruit of the same period.

This buddy is Norrington Wilson, from Arabel, the son of a noble knight. All thirteen members of his family died in the battle of Arabel, and were killed by hobgoblins under the command of the orc Khan Tukin .

From the beginning to the end, hatred shrouded this buddy. He was reticent and trained like crazy.

He was a paladin, a paladin who had just sworn an oath of vengeance.

The guy who "killed the owl bear" in Simeone's mouth was referring to him. With the "name of the enemy" attached to the oath of revenge, he performed the perfect Holy Slash with one blow, and chopped a owl bear who caused harm to the village into pieces. two paragraphs.

After a paladin enters the apprenticeship stage for a period of time, as his martial skills gradually improve and his faith gradually strengthens, they will all swear an oath.

The three most common oaths are the oath of dedication, the oath of ancient sages, and the oath of revenge.

The oath of dedication represents that the paladin dedicates everything to justice, virtue, and order in the multiverse. They symbolize honesty, bravery, mercy, responsibility, and honor. These people are called white knights and often use Angel wings adorn themselves.

The ancient sage's oath represents that the paladin regards protecting the light against darkness as the most important responsibility in life. They care more about justice than justice, protection rather than order, and salvation rather than punishment. These people are called Green knights often decorate themselves with leaves, antlers, flowers and so on.

The Oath of Vengeance represents the solemn commitment of the paladin to punish those serious crimes. For them, punishing evil, promoting justice, and bringing evil existence to justice in the world is the purpose of their life. Based on this, they Those who can sacrifice their purity and have blood on their hands are called black knights.

Norrington Wilson is such a black knight. His hatred for orcs overwhelms everything in his life. He vowed to kill all the orcs in Arabelle to comfort the soul of his family.

In addition to these three most typical paladin oaths, Aaron still vaguely remembers several other paladin oaths:

For example, the Oath of Conquest is an oath to conquer a certain area to make them "reform". Therefore, violent conquest, severe punishment and even ruthless dictatorship are considered permissible-if the paladin thinks it is necessary.

The oath of honor is an oath to reach the pinnacle of a certain path or ability.

The Crown Pledge is an oath to devote one's life to a civilization or a country, or possibly a nation.

In addition, there is a very special oath called the oath of love. These paladins are the paladins of the fire-haired lady Sune (also known as Shuna). These paladins are all from the chaotic good camp. All the codes of conduct are based on protecting love, praising love, and promoting love. They don't care about order, justice, or punishment. As long as it is touching love, they will support and help without thinking.

Yes, a paladin does not have to be fixed in the lawful good camp. Every camp can have a paladin. The word holy means to pursue the ultimate, to pursue the highest.

It's just that the nature of this profession tends to be lawful and good, because the more chaotic and evil it is, the easier it is to break the oath and lose the sacred power brought by the oath of faith. The law of the world resonates to gain strength, and the faction is biased towards the chaotic side and the evil side, which means that this person acts logically, indulges no restraint and is selfish, which is contrary to a paladin to a certain extent.

"Stop, recruits, you have a duel to watch." The knight instructor's words made everyone stop and interrupted Aaron's train of thought.

bring it on!Aaron muttered silently, he saluted the black knight Norrington Wilson in front of him, and the other party also returned a knight salute, and the two stood together.

"Norrington, you are a good man. You have protected your village, but it is not enough to accomplish your goal."

"Aaron, show your skills, and let's see if you can handle the sword as well as your father."

"Also, don't be shy, don't worry, as long as your current level doesn't have a pretense competition, you will have a lot of nosebleeds, you are not noble ladies, you are recruits, if you don't bleed on the training ground, you will bleed on the battlefield! "

"start!"

Following the shout of the knight instructor, Aaron and Norrington assumed the same purple dragon posture at the same time. They revolved around the semicircle, carefully observing their opponents, looking for flaws.

More than a dozen recruits watched the duel together, each pair of eyes was full of longing.

The black knight Norrington launched the attack first. He held the wooden sword with both hands and raised it up to the sky. He put the hilt on his shoulder and sprinted fiercely. The blade pointed straight ahead and fell!

Sword momentum - heavy slash!
How could an apprentice-level paladin master this basic sword skill so proficiently?Aaron was secretly surprised.

However, is the Viscount who has family training a weak person?
Withdrawing the sword and stepping sideways, when the blade fell, Aaron had already left Norrington's attack range, and the tip of the sword circled in the air, straight for Norrington's face!

"Tut!" Sure enough, the dissatisfied squeak of the knight instructor came from his ears. It seemed that he was sorry that Aaron was not defeated by a single blow. Opened Aaron's jab.

The paladin's pace is out of order!
This time it was Aaron's turn to attack. He lunged forward like lightning. The wooden sword pointed directly at Norrington's thigh. .

Seeing that the two swords were about to touch each other, Aaron immediately changed his stab to a stab and stabbed straight into the paladin's chest.

Sword Power - Heavy Slash!

Norrington launched his combat technique again. This desperate blow forced Aaron to give up the attack and retreat. The Viscount staggered a few steps, squinting his eyes and looking at the paladin, with a confident expression on the corner of his mouth. Smile.

As Ferrara said, in low-level battles, unless there is an excellent opportunity or the possibility of ending the battle in one fell swoop, never go all out easily, because it is easy to get tired.

Aaron has a weakness relative to Norrington. He can be sure that the opponent's strength attribute is definitely one or two grades higher than his own, so it is foolish to compete with the opponent's wrist strength.

"Son, remember, you must try to control the rhythm in battle and let your opponent enter your rhythm is the way to win." Aaron recalled his father's teachings and signaled to continue.

Sure enough, Norrington, who had launched two combat skills in a row, actually felt a little strained in his shoulders, and his body was a little tired, but he launched another fierce attack, planning to take Aaron down before his energy was exhausted. In the middle, want to win directly with strength, or at least force Aaron to fight him.

As a result, the shameless Aaron rolled over and forcibly avoided the distance from the paladin. When the wooden sword in the paladin's hand fell from Aaron's side, Aaron, who had already got up from the ground, threw away the wooden sword and clamped the holy warrior with his arm. The warrior's wrist, and his other hand grasped the paladin's shoulder. With all his strength, the two fell down together. After rolling twice in the struggle, Aaron firmly pressed Norrington's body, Press his hand holding the wooden sword behind his back, and press his knee against his back.

"Beautiful! The last Salian!" The knight instructor clapped his hands and signaled: "I declare that Aaron Salian will win this duel, son of Manuel, you will have half a roast chicken for lunch today!"

Hearing the instructor's words, Aaron let go of his movements, stood up, and accepted everyone's applause very coquettishly.

Paladin Norrington was still lying on the ground and did not get up.

"Get up, Norrington, you performed well, but you still made many mistakes." The knight instructor said coldly: "Using brute force blindly will not win you in a duel..."

"..." Norrington muttered under his breath.

"What? Recruit? What are you talking about?" Simeone's attitude immediately became tough: "Say!"

"Instructor, I think this is a swordsmanship competition among knights, not a wrestling in a bar!" Norrington finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he said annoyedly: "A qualified knight should not be thrown away like him. The sword in your hand!"

"Did I say this is a swordsmanship competition?" Simeone smiled, and the knight instructor asked the recruits around him: "You guys, did I say this is a swordsmanship competition?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Norrington, think about it, is this a swordsmanship competition?"

Norrington recalled the process, and the paladin also realized that no one seemed to say that this was a swordsmanship competition from the beginning to the end.

"A test is a test. You can and must learn to use every part of your body as a weapon, Norrington recruit. The battlefield is not a training ground, and your enemy is not your knight brother. Think about it. Your opponent is the earth. It's a goblin, a goblin, a troll, and when you were competing with weapons, it stretched out its teeth and bit your neck open, do you want to protest at this time, 'Oh, sir, I thought this was a swordsmanship competition'?"

"Could it be that the sinister and cunning Gnoll popped a poisoned dart from the wristband, and you also protested 'Sir, I thought this was a swordsmanship competition'?"

The harsh words of the Simeone Cavaliers instructor made Norrington blush, and at this moment, Aaron came to Norrington, and he offered his hand: "We need to use everything we have to fight, brother, be a cunning enemy The only thing we have to do is be more cunning than them when they try to use conspiracy against us."

"You're right, brother." Norrington stood up holding Aaron's hand, and the paladin admitted his failure: "Your skills are very good, the last Salian, you are not a weak person."

"Your holy cut is also very powerful, Mr. Wilson." Aaron also smiled: "If possible, I hope we can share your experience of dealing with that owl bear when we have time."

"Of course!" Norrington looked at Aaron's smile, and he only felt the spring breeze in his tired soul.

The charm is successful!

In this way, Aaron started his own recruit training. For a whole week, he trained in the Knights every day.

In the first week, Aaron showed that he was different from others. As a warlock and part-time fighter, he could use energy recovery and fighting tide more than ordinary fighters in a sufficient rest interval.

Yes, a warrior can only use one return of energy and one action before a long rest, because they are not spellcasters, they can only control trace magic elements and rely on the body to react instinctively, so after enough rest to heal the initial pain in the body Before the chaotic magic element, they could not use it again.

Aaron can use it twice-he is a warlock and a spellcaster after all.

What is quite interesting is that, as his senior, Disma will appear at dinner time every day, and must appear within Aaron's field of vision.

Aaron would naturally ask him to have dinner with him, and Disma did not refuse.

But he never took the initiative to invite Aaron. Once Aaron did not come out because of the long practice time, Disma stood next to the training ground and leaned against a clothes drying rack. He stayed with him until Aaron finished training. Greeting, this guy didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards the auditorium which is the cafeteria.

Aaron thought to himself that this senior is also a very interesting person.

This Saturday night, the two sat together for dinner again, and Aaron took the initiative to mention something: "Senior, can I ask one thing?"

"..." Disma didn't answer, but he knocked on the table with a spoon, signaling Aaron to continue.

"Sir Leonard . . . where has he been?"

"Reynard? He's going to take the final test given by the old man." Disma said impatiently, stirring the broth in the bowl with a spoon: "That's what the old man is like. The requirements of the knight order are It's the same thing, but as long as the stinky old man thinks you are not qualified, you will only be an apprentice knight forever."

"Boy, you should also pay attention, the old man's test is not easy to complete."
